The WWFA does look a bit more interesting, but Ced Walker has not started the Shine. I am currently looking for a coaching job, since I was told I couldn't coach in the PFL.

Who told you that you aren't welcome to coach in the PFL? What a crock. You always do well with few players. That tells me you can coach and motivate. What is the reasoning?

I am not really sure about interesting?? Teams Bellingham Blitz= Will be the best team. Extreme- WO'NT SURVIVE Olympic Peninsula Eagles- BEER TEAM NO GOOD Portland Shine- Renton Ravens- Colts will take their best athletes Snohomish County Thunder- Cant compete against the vikings in players Spanaway Outlaws- Wont survive Invaders- Will lose their best players to the PFL Shockers washington Wolfpack- OLD Warriors, maybe survie 6 games not really interesting, half the teams are new, and the teams that been around are not really solid

Portland Shine...WTF? Come on for real? If Ced is looking for a job I assume that the Terminators are no longer, and why can't you coach in the PFL??
Every coach has his issues, and I'm sure his are no worse.

No coach has been banned from the PFL. The only people not allowed in the PFL are those that have previously been suspended indefinitely from the OFL or NAFLNW previous to the formation of the PFL, and those are few in number and there is a reinstatement process.
Coaching hire decisions are the sole responsibility of the individual team's decision makers. Teams decide who their coaches are going to be, not the league.

Thanks again Maty, I mispoke earlier. Apparantly it wasn't the pfl, but the ofl. In essence, a team wanted to hire me to coach for their ofl team, and I state, apparantly were told that if they hired me, they would not be allowed to play in the ofl. Honestly I didn't know there was a difference, I thought all the leagues had combined to form the pfl, that's where I was mistaken and mispoke. I assumed you already knew this, since you are part of the pfl, and gave it your blessing. It's old news as far as I'm concerned, happened a couple months ago, and I'm not surprised by who I was told was behind it. I was just looking forward to the opportunity to coach against the top teams in the new league. I love a challenge, and have no problem taking a loss, but I guess for some, other issues are far more important.

How do I say this, morally, ethically and politically correct.
Ah, the truth, that sometimes works.
Pfl was not the governing party that told the vipers that Cedric and his staff was not to be their coaches.
As part of the bylaws of the OFL, the Vipers new ownership group had to submit an application to stay with the OFL. At one of the meetings that Tom King was present at the P.T.Bs (powers that be) told Mr King that if Cedric and his staff were the coaches of the Vipers they would receive negative votes of acceptance into the OFL. These were words said to me by Mr. King on what is now 2 occasions. (Heath was NOT at that particular meeting.)
The above statement can be taken in many ways. As stated by Heath above, It is solely up to each ownership of the teams to decide on their coaching staff. Now put yourself in the Vipers position. What would you do? Well, Tom King put the subject of Cedric and his coaching staff on the shelf to be determined at a later date. Then when They were accepted into the OFL thus also the PFL by association, Mr. King and us started our talks again. Brief talks. Cedric coaching staff and the Vipers were not completely on the same page and both parties felt that it wouldn’t be a perfect fit. There are absolutely no hard feelings by either. It was solely a business decision that was explored fully and the best decision was made.

It would have been interesting if Ced were to coach with the Vipers. To bad that didnt work out. Heard the Vipers just got a new O coordinator. Im sure they probably have the same D coord as last year. So I can see where Ced may not fit in unless everyone could work together and were on the same page as you stated Sean.
Whats with the Terminators?

Gene, It would have been cool. But in the end square peg round hole. The Vipers do have a new D-coor this yr. Good guy. Knowledgeable.
